Meat and "processed meat" are two different things. Too much processed food is bad for you. If you only buy pure products, i.e. meat that has not been processed, you're good. Everybody knows that junk food, deep fried chicken and all that **** which is rolled in oil and breadcrumbs is bad for you.
That study has nothing to do with whether a clean steak with vegetables is unhealthy.

My point with this thread was to point out the BBC exaggerating the findings of this study. At worst, you can argue that eating a load of meat increases your chance of dying within 13 years by 0.2%, which to most people is so small it's easily worth taking on if you get to munch food you like.

throw the die three times ( carefully and with appropriate supervision if you are under 21 ):

use the results to select a Location, Foodstuff, Disease from the following lists:

Location:

1 =University of Healing Big Sur California

2 =Esalen Institute of Nutritional Vibrations California

3 =Scripps' Hole Food Rumour Lab California

4 =Hukillabambi University Helsinki

5 =Inner Voice Knowledge Laboratories Hebden Bridge Yorkshire

6 =TSR Chat "Where Facts Come First"

Foodstuff

1 =Cheese

2 =Jelly

3 =Soup

4 =Anchovies

5 =Pizza

6 =Scallops

Disease

1 =Hallucinations

2 =Bunions

3 =Premature ejaculation

4 =Madness

5 =Heavy Legs

6 =Gleet

Now in a worried BBC voice read out this statement filling in the blanks with your results...
